All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application. It should be understood that the specific implementations described herein are merely for illustrating and explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application. In this application, unless otherwise specified, orientation terms such as “up” and “down” generally refer to the up and down of a device in an actual use or a working state, and specifically, refer to graphical directions of the accompanying drawings; and “inside” and “outside” refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of the device.

Referring to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional structural diagram of a first display panel provided by an embodiment of this application. The display panel provided by the embodiment of this application includes a substrate 10, a light emitting layer 20, a protective layer 30 and a light adjusting layer 40.

The light emitting layer 20 is disposed on the substrate 10. The light emitting layer 20 includes a plurality of light emitting pixels 201. There is a gap 202 between adjacent two light emitting pixels 201. The plurality of light emitting pixels 201 at least includes a red light emitting pixel, a green light emitting pixel and a blue light emitting pixel. The protective layer 30 is disposed on the side of the light emitting layer 20 away from the substrate 10. The protective layer 30 includes a plurality of stop blocks 301 distributed in an array. The plurality of stop blocks 301 is disposed corresponding to the plurality of gaps 202 in one-to-one correspondence. The light adjusting layer 40 is disposed between adjacent two stop blocks 301 and covers the stop blocks 301.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of this application, the protective layer 30 and the light adjusting layer 40 are disposed, and the light adjusting layer 40 is filled between adjacent two stop blocks 301 so that a plurality of microlens modules 402 distributed in an array is formed on the side of the light adjusting layer 40 close to the substrate, and the microlens modules 402 are used to transmit the light emitted by the light emitting pixels 201. Since a refractive index of the protective layer 30 is less than a refractive index of the light adjusting layer 40, that is, a refractive index of the stop block 301 is less than a refractive index of the microlens module 402, the light emitted by the light emitting pixel 201 is totally reflected at a junction between the microlens module 402 and the stop block 301, thus making large-angle light converge to a middle region, which reduces the large-angle loss of light and the total reflection loss between the film layers, and is beneficial to improving the forward light efficiency and light output efficiency of the display panel.

Specifically, in one implementation, a material of the light adjusting layer 40 may be a pressure-sensitive adhesive (polysulfonamide, PSA) or Optically Clear Adhesive (OCA). When the material of the light adjusting layer 40 is OCA, the light adjusting layer 40 may be formed on the side of the protective layer 30 away from the substrate 10 by adopting a coating process.

Referring to FIG. 1, the display panel further includes a polarizer 50. The polarizer 50 is disposed on the side of the light adjusting layer 40 away from the substrate 10. The polarizer 50 at least includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501, a phase difference layer 502, a polarizing layer 503 and a protective film 504 stacked together.

Specifically, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 is used to bond the phase difference layer 502 to the side of the protective layer 30 away from the substrate 10. The material of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 includes polysulfonamide (PSA). PSA is a kind of adhesive sensitive to pressure. The protective film 504 is used to support and protect the polarizing layer 503.

In this implementation, light emitted by the light emitting pixel 201 is totally reflected at a junction between the light adjusting layer 40 and the stop block 301, thus making large-angle light to converge to a middle region, sequentially pass through the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501, the phase difference layer 502, the polarizing layer 503 and the protective film 504, and then be emitted into external air.

Further, in another implementation, referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional structural diagram of a second display panel provided by the embodiment of this application. A difference of FIG. 2 from FIG. 1 is that the polarizer 50 is disposed on the side of the protective layer 30 away from the substrate 10, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 also serves as the light adjusting layer 40. In this case, light emitted by the light emitting pixels 201 is totally reflected at a junction between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 and the stop block 301, thus making large-angle light to converge to a middle region, sequentially pass through the phase difference layer 502, the polarizing layer 503 and the protective film 504, and then be emitted into external air.

It should be noted that in this implementation, by making the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 also serve as the light adjusting layer 40, compared with the implementation in FIG. 1, there is no need to add a light adjusting layer 40 between the polarizer 50 and the protective layer 30. Moreover, when the material of the light adjusting layer 40 is PSA, it is difficult to form by coating PSA through an existing coating process due to the poor fluidity of PSA. Since the polarizer 50 itself has the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501, it helps to reduce the process and reduce the cost. In addition, since a film layer is omitted, an overall thickness of the display panel is reduced, which helps to realize the lightness and thinness of the display panel.

The materials of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 and the protective layer 30 are organic polymers. Generally, a refractive index difference between different organic polymers is generally small. That is, a refractive index difference between different film layers is generally small. For example, a refractive index difference between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 and the protective layer 30 is small, then, it is difficult to achieve the purpose that the refractive index of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 is greater than the refractive index of the protective layer 30 by changing the specific organic polymer material. Therefore, the embodiment of this application can achieve the above purpose by increasing the refractive index of the light adjusting layer 40 or reducing the refractive index of the protective layer 30.

Specifically, in this embodiment of this application, at least part of region of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 is doped with high-refractive-index particles 401, and/or the stop blocks 301 are doped with low-refractive-index particles 302. These ways are briefly described as follows:

Continuously referring to FIG. 2, in one implementation, at least part of region of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 is doped with high-refractive-index particles 401, so that an average refractive index of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 increases, that is, the average refractive index of the light adjusting layer 40 increases, and then the refractive index of the light adjusting layer 40 is greater than the refractive index of the protective layer 30.

In one implementation, referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic sectional structural diagram of a third display panel provided by the embodiment of this application. A difference of FIG. 3 from FIG. 2 is that the protective layer 30 is doped with low-refractive-index particles 302, so that the average refractive index of the protective layer 30 increases, and then the refractive index of the light adjusting layer 40 is greater than the refractive index of the protective layer 30.

In one implementation, referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic sectional structural diagram of a fourth display panel provided by the embodiment of this application. A difference of FIG. 4 from FIG. 2 is that at least part of region of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 501 is doped with high-refractive-index particles 401, and the protective layer 30 is doped with low-refractive-index particles 302, so that the average refractive index of the light adjusting layer 40 increases, the average refractive index of the protective layer 30 increases, and then the refractive index of the light adjusting layer 40 is further greater than the refractive index of the protective layer 30.

Specifically, the refractive index of the light adjusting layer 40 is in a range of 1.5-2, and the refractive index of the protective layer 30 is in a range of 1.1-1.4. Optionally, the refractive index of the light adjusting layer 40 may be one of 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and 2.0, and the refractive index of the protective layer 30 may be one of 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.35, and 1.4.

Specifically, the high-refractive-index particles 401 and the low-refractive-index particles 302 are colorless and transparent refraction particles, so that light can pass through the high-refractive-index particles 401 and the low-refractive-index particles 302 without affecting the transmittance.

Optionally, the high-refractive-index particles 401 include one or more of zirconium oxide particles, titanium oxide particles, aluminum oxide particles and zirconium dioxide particles, and a diameter of the high-refractive-index particle 401 is within a range of 1 nm to 300 nm; the low-refractive-index particles 302 include one or more of silver, copper and silicon dioxide, and a diameter of the low-refractive-index particle 302 is in a range of 1 nm to 300 nm.

Specifically, a mass ratio of the high-refractive-index particles 401 to the light adjusting layer 40 is in a range of 1% to 40%; and a mass ratio of the low-refractive-index particles 302 to the protective layer 30 is in a range of 1% to 40%.

Specifically, a thickness of the light adjusting layer 40 is in a range of 10 microns to 100 microns. The reason is that, on the one hand, the thickness of the light adjusting layer 40 should not be too small in order to prevent poor surface flatness of the side of the light adjusting layer 40 away from the substrate 10 caused by the fact that the thickness of the light adjusting layer 40 cannot effectively cover the stop blocks 301; on the other hand, the light adjusting layer 40 needs to ensure that it has sufficient adhesion to bond the phase difference layer 502 to the side of the protective layer 30 away from the substrate 10 in order to prevent the polarizer 50 from falling off.

Specifically, a thickness of the protective layer 30 is in a range of 1 micron to 5 microns, that is, a thickness of each stop block 301 is in a range of 1 micron to 5 microns, so that all the large-angle light emitted by the light emitting pixels 201 can fully enter a junction between each stop block 301 and the light adjusting layer 40, thus making as much light as possible to converge to a middle region, which is beneficial to further reducing the large-angle loss of light and the total reflection loss between the film layers, and further improving the forward light efficiency and light output efficiency of the display panel.

Specifically, the material of the protective layer 30 includes one or more of acrylics, siloxanes and polyimides. Optionally, the material of the protective layer 30 is any one of colorless polyimide, acrylic resin, epoxy resin, silicone resin, polydimethylsiloxane and hexamethyldisiloxane.

Specifically, a sectional shape of the stop block 301 is one of a regular triangle and a regular trapezoid. For example, the sectional shape of the stop block 301 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 is a regular trapezoid.

Of course, the sectional shape of the stop block 301 may also be other shapes, as long as the light emitted by the light emitting pixels 201 can be totally reflected at a junction between the light adjusting layer 40 and the stop block 301, and the totally reflected light is emitted to a light output surface of the display panel. In this embodiment of this application, the sectional shape of the stop block 301 is not specially limited.

Further, an orthographic projection of the stop block 301 on the substrate 10 is located in an orthographic projection of the gap 202 on the substrate 10, so as to avoid affecting the normal light output of the light emitting pixels 201.

Specifically, a width of the side of the stop block 301 close to the substrate 10 is in a range of 5 microns to 50 microns, which should be specifically determined according to a size of the gap 202.

Further, the display panel further includes a driving circuit layer 80 and a pixel definition layer 90. The driving circuit layer 80 is disposed between the substrate 10 and the light emitting layer 20. The driving circuit layer 80 includes a plurality of pixel driving circuits for driving the plurality of light emitting pixels 201 to emit light. The pixel definition layer 90 is disposed on the side of the driving circuit layer 80 away from the substrate 10. The pixel definition layer 90 defines a plurality of pixel openings. The light emitting layer is disposed in the pixel openings, and the gap 202 is located between adjacent two pixel openings.

Further, the display panel may adopt a Direct On Cell Touch (DOT) structure to form an electronic device with a touch function. Specifically, the display panel further includes a packaging layer 60 and a touch layer 70. The packaging layer 60 covers the light emitting layer 20. The touch layer 70 is disposed on the side of the packaging layer 60 away from the substrate 10. The protective layer 30 is disposed on the side of the touch layer 70 away from the substrate 10.

Specifically, the packaging layer 60 may adopt a thin film packaging structure. The thin film packaging structure usually includes a plurality of layers of organic films and a plurality of layers of inorganic films stacked together. A surface of the thin film packaging structure is an inorganic packaging film, such as zinc oxide or other inorganic oxides. The touch layer 70 includes at least one insulating dielectric layer covering the packaging layer and a plurality of touch modules located in the insulating dielectric layer. The plurality of touch modules is located directly above the gaps 202.

It should be noted that the technical solution provided by this application is also applicable to display panels without the DOT structure, and display panels with any structure using the technical solution provided by this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

Further, the display panel further includes a cover plate (not shown). The cover plate is disposed on the side of the polarizer 50 away from the substrate 10. The cover plate may be a transparent glass substrate 10.
